March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month!My dear friend and mentor, Jean Di Carlo-Wagner, now a 23 year Colorectal Cancer Survivor in her words."How does someone look when they have cancer? I didn’t lose my hair. I didn’t lose my sense of humor. My friends came out a week at a time to take care of the house and keep me company. Dolores Ferris Sredl came out on a particularly rough week.The stress in the house was palpable. Everyone is stressed and life feels very fragile. I was just turning 47. The age for first colonoscopies was 50. It is now 45. If you have a family history or are a person of color, go in at 40. You get a 20 minute nap and the scope is over. Don’t be embarrassed to death."I will add that Jean is the reason I no longer hold my breath during difficult moments. She taught me to breathe through them instead. And, she introduced me the bumblebee....who isn't supposed to fly, but does!Check out Yoga with Jean and YogaBridge!#coloncancer#colorectalcancer #cancer #marchiscolorectalcancerawarenessmonth #sayyestohope #yogabridge#yogawithjean#yogaforcancersurvivors#justbreathe #getscreened ...
